In order to complete your cards you will require these additional items:

·

Sticky tape cut into small pieces to secure the ends of the threads.

·

Clear drying glue or double-sided adhesive tape for final assembly.

·

A piece of foam, a felt mat or a folded towel to protect your work surface.

Step One Protect your work surface. Open up the card and with the right side facing
up, lay a design template on the middle section.

Step Two Holding the template in place, take the large pin and prick through each

dot in turn on the template making sure that the pin also goes through the card.
Remove the template when the entire design has been comple ted.

Hint – If you wish to secure your template to the card with sticky tape, place the tape

on and off a cloth several times. This will take off the excess stickiness yet still allow it
to adhere to the card without leaving a mark. To test first use the r everse of the right
panel as this will eventually be hidden.

Step three Cut a length of thread about 2 feet long and thread the needle. (It is better

to use several short threads rather than one long piece as the holes of the card may
start to wear away the filament in the thread and cause it to fray. The underside of your
work will be hidden so it does not matter how many times yo u seal your threads.)
Attach the thread to the back of the card, close to the starting point, with a small piece
of sticky tape, making sure that you do not cover over any holes.

Step Four Follow instructions for each embroidered design, securing each length of

thread with a small piece of sticky tape.

To clarify: “ Out at… ” means bring the needle from the back of the work through to

the front.

“In at… ” means take the needle from the right side of the work through to the back.
Step Five When a design is completed fold under the right hand side of the card and

glue in place around the edge.
